I rise to oppose the Carper amendment. Let's be clear. We all want to address climate change, period. Now, this amendment does much more than that. Just because you say you want to address climate change does not mean every policy that you propose is a good idea. There can be disagreement. And I disagree strongly with the Green New Deal policies in this $4.2 trillion bill that wastes taxpayer dollars. It costs hundreds of jobs, and it hurts our economy. Our economy should be a priority here. It should be the priority. We can protect the environment without punishing the economy, and this bill and amendment fail that test. I yield the floor. Vote on Amendment No. 3330 The PRESIDING OFFICER. If there is no further debate, the question is on agreeing to the amendment.
